People suffering from dementia often feel confused and depressed. Some of them also display wandering behaviour. We build an interactive wall for people suf­fering from dementia.

Involved partners: Utrecht University, Amsterdam university of applied sciences, Amsterdam university and CGI.

The wall uses com­puter vision to recognize the person in front of the wall and to recognize his or her behaviour and emotional state. Based on the behaviour detected, the wall then gives a personalized experience using video and music that appeals to that person. Family members can upload content. The interaction with the wall may diminish the behavioural problems of dementia such as agitation, aggression, fear, depression and apathy. The wall also gives those who display wandering behav­iour a virtual place to go to.
